Get the Elotes if you like cheese, otherwise, the Chicha Morada is good on a warm day. Their drinks are inventive and goodl. Would return to try their classics. Speakeasy vibes since they are in the back of an Italian restaurant (Note part of what was once Jean Paul Gaultier's flagship store). A small space with nice decor and swanky. It's probably not too difficult to get into. Many patrons are visitors so expect quick turnovers. The staff and service are welcoming. 2026 Europe's Best Bars #19 (2025 World's Best #30) ranked by "The World's 50 Best Bars Academy comprising more than 800 drinks experts, including renowned bartenders and consultants, drinks writers and cocktail specialists." read more

We arrived in Paris after almost a full day of travel and decided to go out for a drink after a lazy hotel dinner. I found Danico Bar on one of those World's 50 Best Bars lists, and as it was walk-in only and like half a mile from our hotel, we decided to stroll over and try our luck. It was around 10:30 on a Wednesday night, and there were only a few people waiting ahead of us. Every guest we saw was an obvious tourist like us--many with shopping bags and actual luggage--who'd probably found Danico on the same World's 50 Best list. We got in after a short, comfortable wait, maybe ten minutes, all of them spent sitting down. The bar was dark and glamorous, a speakeasy-style spot in the back of an Italian restaurant. We got a table, which was great. The space was loud and busy, but we had our little perch. Table service was polite and efficient. We hung out until midnight and got in a couple of rounds. There was a thick book of a menu, with thirty cocktails celebrating Danico's tenth anniversary--three definitive drinks from each year. More than half of these were, unfortunately, sold out (it looked like a lot of them were pre-made in finite batches). We did well with what was left, though, including a few signatures available in unlimited quantities. All four of our cocktails were delicious. The Mirror Selfie was the lightest of the bunch, a fizzy highball with Citadelle gin, sweet vermouth, grapefruit, sakura tea, and bergamot perfume. The Sakura was a stronger drink, also with Citadelle gin and sakura, a Negroni variation rounded out with sweet vermouth, Campari, and umeshu. The Sado Miso was an Asian dessert of a cocktail, nutty and creamy but not sweet, made with Pierre Ferrand 1840 cognac rye whiskey, brown butter miso, anko, black sesame, egg, and rice and tofu milk. Then there was the Krakatoa, a wild milk punch with peanut butter distillate, Planteray 3 Stars rum, palm sugar, mango, pineapple, cucumber, sweet potato, lime, and soy milk. I was curious what it would taste like and didn't even know while I was drinking it, but it was fantastic. We had a a lovely time at Danico. The drinks were creative and the vibe was fun, while still easy enough for two elder millennials to enjoy with travel exhaustion. I'd recommend this place if you want interesting cocktails and don't mind drinking among (other) tourists. read more

Got a spot at the bar around midnight on a Saturday. Neighborhood was empty but this place was packed. Amazing drinks!! Terminal 2F, Paris Brest, and one more I'm not remembering. Then again, they change their menu every 6 months. Come with someone French so they can explain the Paris stereotypes/inside jokes each drink is named for! read more

Very easy to get a table. They have a separate bar and dining area. Can be a bit dark and moderate noise. The drinks were very interesting and change often. read more

I really enjoyed this place, though you should be aware that they do seasonal themes and all the cocktails fit that theme. We went in during the Peruvian "Danico Xplorer" theme and though I liked the two drinks I had, I was a bit disappointed to not see some cocktails that I had seen online from prior themes. Getting in wasn't too bad with only 2 people, but groups of 4+ seemed to have a long wait. Service once inside was pretty quick for how busy they were, though. I'd definitely go back, but maybe I'd look into the theme in advance to make sure there are several options I'm into. read more

Came on a Tuesday around opening and was the first one there. Some people started trickling in around 30 minutes later. The theme this time around was based on Peru. They were definitely interesting drinks, but all tasted good (some very good). I gravitate towards semi strong and creamy/nutty drinks. I enjoyed the viscacha and TUPÁNANCHISKAMA. Service was good as well. read more

I loved this bar. We went there after finding it on the top 50 bars list. Our server was not only kind but very handsome! He offered great suggestions of other bars to visit post our visit there (since they were closing.) You have to walk through a restaurant to get to the bar. Loved the dark and minimal lighting. The drinks, were incredible. I can see why this place is highly rated. Would visit again read more

Very intimate speakeasy. Just being walked back there you feel like a VIP. Huuuuuuuuuge diverse and creative rotating menu based on a region of the world. This one was India and there was butter chicken (a real drink) jasmine, cardamom, saffron. The menu is a book and each page a different drink with and illustration of India. Very experienced and friendly bartenders! read more

Great service and quick compared to other places in France good food but over priced a bit Fun place to be and open late

This is one of the 3 bars in Paris currently on the Worlds Top 50 bars list - and would say this is probably the best of the 3. The cocktail menu is highly creative - apparently they switch up the menu every 3 months focusing on a different country; as of this review, the current theme is India (think lassi, chai, spices, etc...). The 3 drinks I had were all outstanding. Service is top rate - and has swanky posh decor. You can sit at the bar and interact with the staff, or sit at the small tables and just get lost in the great vibe here. Not to be missed if in Paris. (Tip - you have to enter thru the neighboring restaurant to access the bar) read more

Want to give more than 5 stars. Found this from the Top best bars list. Come when you are in Paris, you won't regret it! Located behind pizza palace Daroco Bourse, Danico is housed in the former Jean Paul Gaultier flagship store. Its barmen's nautical striped shirts are a fitting homage to the fashion designer's signature design. Vibrant vibes abound in the high-ceilinged space with a mid-century throw back: the wallpaper, velvet furnishings and a herringbone marble bar, while the soundtrack comprises upbeat EDM tracks. The 12-cocktail menu is not for the faint-hearted: ' The "Cafe Moutarde Banana" is a twist to a standard expresso martini with banana infused water to give a refreshing sweetness yet not overpowering. 'La Myrtille', a turbo-charged kir royale, contains Pierre Ferrand cognac fat-washed with hazelnut butter and infused with tonka beans. read more

Quiet, pretty ambiance. Service was good...made good recs based on what we were looking for. Drinks were complex but some seemed premixed. read more

Nice bar, good cocktails, service below average. Not greeted, had to wait for a menu, they took the menu away after we ordered claiming they were limited. After 6 cocktails sitting at the bar, not one of the bartenders even talked to us. If you are with a group and don't mind being ignored but like good cocktails, then I would go. Little Red Door was hands down the best bar we visited in Paris this time. read more

It s obvious why this is one of the top bars in the World. Superb service in a warm and cozy ambiance. A very limited food menu available only after 7pm. Who cares..? The drinks are more than enough. read more

This place is like a speakeasy, you have to weave your way through a restaurant to get to the bar, but it's totally worth it. Don't try to look for the bar, just follow your map, get to the restaurant, enter and let the host or hostess know that you came for the bar. Once there, find a table and sit down. It may take more than several minutes but someone will bring you a drink menu and take your order. It is a weird concept for us Americans because we like things to happen quickly but just remind ourselves that we're on vacation and we need to just sit down! I was about to take pictures of their cocktail menu but since they change their menu frequently, there is no need to do so. Drinks are deliciously and dangerously good. It is difficult to narrow down what to order but each drink comes with its own descriptions and they are fairly accurate. Cool and chill vibes. Bartender is super nice. Ignore my pics, I was trying to make a point of places that I came, I saw, I loved. read more

A must try after you've eaten at the restarant in front Ofcourse. This spot is located all the way in the back of Daroco restarant. It kind of gives me speakeasy vibes and you will love it as much as I did. Small and cozy and the drinks are perfect. I loved the names of the drinks and the drink menu art was very creative. read more

Danico - Try the blue Hawaiian - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Paris, 75

VERY IMPORTANT LOCATION NOTE: Danico is located INSIDE of the highly rated pizza joint, DAROCO. You will find the cocktail bar by entering the restaurant and then going all the way to othe back. I wish the reviews had included this note earlier since we did end up wandering around the vicinity for 20 minutes trying to find signage with "Danico" ha! Worth the extra walking to work off the soon to be consumed carbs and cocktails that night.... You MUST bring your tushy to this cocktail bar. Holy bajeezes. The bar and restaurant were both poppin' on a Friday night. My friend found Danico through Yelp of course and decided to come here for drinks before dinner. Unfortunately, but not really, we ended up staying here for dinner and never made it to our next destination spot ha! The ambiance is just too gorgoues and is perfectly lit and the bartenders here are PHENOMENAL and are super innovative with making new drinks year long round. The menu changes time to time and all the drinks are equally fabulous and made with the finesse of a professional that goes beyond just years of practicing. I swear the drinks were one of the BEST I've ever had. There must be some magic spell and unicorns in the back kitchen making a special potion to add to each drink. I ordered the #2 "I Quit" which was a mezcal, sherry, agave & habanero drink. This would probably blow a man's mind out of the world, but unfortunately, the drink was way too manly and strong for me (tasted more like bourbon/cognac) so I had to quit on this drink half way. BUT it was good for what it's worth. I just don't know how to order drinks keke So onto drink dos! I got the #1 "Hao Neeo Mamuang" after much consultation with the server (Gailee- who was the nicest French person we've ever met!), who claimed that this was a refreshing "girly" drink. OMG. This was so so so so bomb. Think of a refreshing, blooming flower, with a serene breeze and aqua blue water in the background when youd rink this. It was so dang good. And there were chia seeds in it I LOVE CHIA SEEDS! Healthy in oatmeal and in a cocktail! My friend got the Pacman too which was soooo sooo gooddddd. I was so jealous of her drink while I was sipping on my "I Quit" thinking why I didn't pick the cute names/pictured drinks instead. We also ordered the Focaccia bread which was so utterly satisfying. We devoured the fluffy cheesy warm bread and unfortuntaely lost our appetite for dinner during normal dining hours (don't worry we made it up with ubereats at the hotel). Such a special place for cocktails. I would recommend eating pizza at Daroco since it smelled amazing and then heading over to the back for some good night drinks. What a great find! OUI OUI! read more

What a great find! We wanted to grab cocktails before dinner and were in the mood to go somewhere that would feel like home cause we had been away for so long. This place hit the spot! Casual yet trendy with delicious, well-made fun cocktails. My drink had sprinkles in it! The decor is so pretty, and the bartenders were knowledgeable and friendly. Get there early cause this place got packed! Plus you can totally make a whole night of this since it is in the back of a pizza place that looked delicious (but was also packed). read more

Wow!! I constantly do research and go to cocktail bars all over paris, and in Europe and NYC and Canada. This cocktail bar is insane. It is SO good. I ordered the chicarron c'est point carré(tequila and mezcal) it was probably one of the best drinks over ever had. My boyfriend ordered the peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat, I don't even like cognac and his drink was incredible. We came on Sunday night after having dinner at Daroco up front, and hesitated going home after dinner. I'm glad we decided to come to the bar. This is now one of my favorite bars in Paris. Can't wait to come back and try their other drinks. You cannot miss this place!! read more
